Still Waiting

Thursday morning at 3am Grace's temperature dropped to 97.  So much for 12-24 hours, did I mention dog breeding and whelping is not a science, more like the moon and the tide possibly waiting for snow to melt?  hmm, maybe I should be looking at the almanac.

this morning?  well, first things first, she's hungry.

Today friday 6am there's a slight discharge, temperature is holding at 99 late morning, later monrning she stays in the whelping area, growls at Hilde for getting too close, then off to chew a bone.

it's starting, will we have puppies today?  hmm, we might, maybe tomorrow, maybe sunday. 
Day 63 is Sept 8th, her last/first litter she had them on Day 60, temp dropped 24+ hours ago though ... which will it be?  temperature watching or exact Day 60 - Day 63?

anticipating ... waiting ... watching ... planning ... that's all we can do until Grace says it's time

Tomorrow is the scheduled X-Ray ... stay tuned
